Audio Book Review said about his reading:
"..even if you have read it a dozen times, you will find Jake Gyllenhaal’s narration of it is excellent! The Great Gatsby Audiobook read by Jake Gyllenhaal is highly recommended! It gives you a new appreciation of how important voice is as a instrument of master actors."
Library Journal named his Gatsby was one of the Best Audiobooks of 2013:
" Narrator Jake Gyllanhaal[sic] gives an understated performance filled with nuance and a thoughtful appreciation of the written word. Never overpowering, Gyllanhaal[sic] allows time for readers to draw their own conclusions and investigate their own interpretations of the novel’s many facets. This fresh audio production will inspire readers to experience the classic anew."

Olympics for ALL Moment:
How you can use McDonalds to help support LGTB rights for Russia at the Sochi Olympics.
There is yet another way human-rights and LGBT activists can leverage an Olympics sponsor's existing social media campaign to speak both words of protest and words of support for LGBT equality in Russia and worldwide. This Achilles' heel of Russia's censorship policy has been hiding in plain sight since the McDonald's #CheersToSochi hashtag was first hijacked in January.
And although McDonald's has abandoned the use of the #CheersToSochi hashtag, the Cheers to Sochi campaign website is still up and functioning and, according to their press and social media updates, still a conduit to talk to Olympic athletes and teams who are, right now, behind Putin's Lavender Curtain.
